Which is worse/ better a McDonald's McFlurry or a Dairy Queen's Blizzard?

Question

Which is more unhealthy, a MD McFlurry or a DQ Blizzard? Which tastes better, a MD McFlurry or a DQ Blizzard?

Answer 1

I like Dairy Queen Blizzards much better. There's so many flavors to choose from. I don't like M&M McFlurry's or Oreo ones, too boring.

Answer 2

Their probaly the same. Both HORRIBLE. And neither of them taste good. Because their fattening.

Answer 3

DQ Blizzard all the way

Answer 4

I think DQ's blizzard is better than MD's McFlurry. the Blizzard is probably more unhealthy than MD's McFlurry. I don't like the McFlurry as much as DQ's Blizzard. I JUST LOVE DQ'S FLAVORS!!!!!!!! Theres one @ the mall that I go to sometimes. I LOVE the cookie dough blizzard!

Answer 5

I think a DQ Blizzard is more unhealthy thab a MD McFlurry. I'd prefer a DQ Blizzard apposed to a MD McFlurry.

Answer 6

im not really sure which is more healthy..it might actually be mickey d's cause theeres not as much toppings to choose from like blizzards. it depends what kind of blizzard/flurry your getting.. and i personally believe that blizzards taste betteer, just because theres much more things to choose from.

Answer 7

They are both pretty unhealthy.  Actually, this is an older place, I don't know if anyone heard or rememberes it, (if you are from Illinois) mainly, it was called c**k Robin, it was the best, the best double cheeseburgers and shakes.

Answer 8

Both unhealthy. Both are good in moderation. So eatem alternativelyyyee

Answer 9

Better: DQ Blizzard

More unhealthy: DQ Blizzard

Answer 10

I do like the Blizzard though never tried a McFlurry yet. If you've heard of Culver's they have awesome Concrete Mixers made with frozen custard. They're like a Blizzard but not as sweet, so you won't get a sugar buzz and will feel just as good after you ate one.

Answer 11

DQ Blizzards have more calories than MD's and I personally think McDonald's taste better too.

Answer 12

I love Dairy Queen's blizzard...way much better than the McFlurry. Did you ever get the McFlurries and the candy they put in there is stale?! That's why I don't even waste my money there anymore, Dairy Queen has my vote.

Answer 13

A small chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard has 720 calories.

A large strawberry CheeseQuake Blizzard has 990 calories.

But they both do taste better than the McDonald's McFlurry!

Answer 14

It depends on what you get---

if I go to McD's I don't have much of a choice so I have to get oreo but if i go to DQ my favorite is Hawaiian--I definitely would not get Oreo there-so Oreo mcflurry compared with dq Hawaiian blizzard

Oreo MC Flurry           Hawaiian Blizzard

Calories--550              440

total fat---17                  15

sat. fat--- 9                     10

trans fat---1                      .5

cholesterol--50               40

sodium         250            180

carbs--------88                  67

so maybe the oreo is higher at dq but like I said with more options it is highly likely that something else will appeal to my taste--

Hawaiian Blizzard hands down for taste!

Answer 15

FLURRY IS YUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLIZZARD ISA YUMMY! NOT  YUVKY FLURRY IS VERY YUCKY BECAUSE IT COMES FROM YUCKY PLACE!!!!!

Answer 16

FLURRY FLURRY FLURRY FLURRY! UCKY UCKY UCKY UCKY! BLEH! I JUST ATE ONE AND ME GO PUIKEY IN TOILET

Answer 17

DQ hands down.  The McFlurry is a blizzard rip off.  The blizzad has better ice cream and offers FAR more choices in terms of add ins.  If you want a cheeseburger or a sweet tea (so good!) go to McD's but for ice cream--go to the king..or Queen.

Answer 18

McDonald's McFlurry is more unhealthy. Dairy Queen's Blizzard tastes better!!!!

Answer 19

They're both delicious but mcdonalds doesn't have as good of a selection anymore, their butterfinger mcflurry was bomb! but now im pretty sure they only have oreo and M&M .. atleast where i'm from. They have really cheap delicious sundaes though but when it comes to blizzards DQ owns they have the coolest flavors and way more of a selection. While neither is heathy for you, dairyqueen's actual softserve is better for you because it's made with a milk base instead of cream so it's less fat, what better way is there to get in your calcium :)?

Answer 20

DQ Cookie Dough Blizzard is my ultimate weakness

Answer 21

Blizzards are far superior to Mcflurrys. I don't know about the health aspect though. I have to assume that Mcflurrys are worse though since they come from McDonald's.

Answer 22

a long debated question :)

A mcflurry has from 550-620 calories, depending on the flavor. its 12.3 oz .

A blizzard ranges from 550 to almost 1400 calories. It has like a million and one flavors though. Of course if your getting a strawberry banana blizzard, its going to be lower. If you get a brownie batter blizzard with smarties, its going to be higher.

we'll use oreo mcflurrys and oreo blizzards as the examples.

Oreo- Mcflurry - 337 g - 550 calories

Oreo- Blizzard -  334 g - 690 calories

So, as a rule of thumb, mcflurry is slightly healthier. Both are not good for you though.

But that being said, a dairy queen blizzard tastes much better, and comes in much better variety.  

They are similar, but blizzard is waaaaay better.

Answer 23

oh, but there both oh so good, how could anyone decide between both? but i guess if you want creamy, go to DQ, but if you want fresh, go to Mcy D's

Answer 24

dairy queen blizzard is best. they have way more options and mcdonalds only has either m&ms or oreo and that's it. blizzards taste better and come with more icecream and stuff. the quality of a blizzard surpasses that of a mcflurry.

Answer 25

Blizzard I think is better but Mcdonalds can make a good milkshake.

BK beats them at fries,burgers and basically all the rest of the food they make. Except the mcrib ha ha

Answer 26

Generally speaking, DQ is better for everything than McDonald's and that includes Blizzards being better than McFlurries, except I actually prefer Oreo McFlurries to Oreo Blizzards, but that's the only exception, The advantage of McDonald's is that it's cheaper and that there's more of them.

Answer 27

DQ tastes way better than Mc-Donald's any day! Theyr'e pretty much the same when it comes to health. I dont sugest eating aton of them though because there pretty high in calories.

Answer 28

I am in favor of dairy queens blizzard more flavor choices and they were the original company to start with.

Answer 29

the blizzard is better because theres so many flavors 2 choose from ad the icecream is better...... i think they're both unhealthy...unless u get fruit in your blizzard instead of candy..that should make it better right?

Answer 30

I am a manager at McDonald's and you do not want to eat a Mcflurry on least you know the day they clean their machine?

Beside Dairy Queen's is much better!

Answer 31

I'm guessing the McFlurry is probably more healthy, but the Blizzard tastes SOOOOO much better. With the McFlurry, you only get a couple of choices for your "mix-ins", but with the Blizzard, there are tons of ingredients to mix and match, and they are always coming up with special flavors.....egg nog around the holidays, etc.
